The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1887-01-20

The Temperance Worker hos changed its
place of publication from Newberry to
Lynchburg, S. c., and is now under the
management of Rev. John S. Mattison, of
the South Carolina Conference and for
merly of this city. We wish friend Mat
tison much success in his new field OF
labor.
If our people would not study over the
past and cry '.hard times" but push right
along with double rush, determined to
succeed in whatever they may undertake,
they would find that they would get
along better in the world. Now resolve
not to rumiuate over what might have
been, but tear things to pieces or succeed
In the future.

DR.. 81. J. Sanders died at his home in
Clinton, Ala, on the 1lth inst, after a
very brief illness, aged 66 years. His
wife died just month ago. DR.. Sanders
will be remembered by many of our
readers, he having resided at one time in
Anderson County. He was brother OF
Mrs. P. K. Norris, of this city, and was
q distinguished physician and an honora-
BILE, upright citizen. His friends in this
County will regret to hear of his death.
Mr.. j. s. Fowler is one .of the most re-
markable men we ever saw. On his way
up from Augusta last week at Plum
Branch, he saw horse which was stolen
from him in 1885, and Immediately recog-
nized it from the car window. Getting off
he saw the party in possession OF it, and
while explaining the situation, the train
LETT him. He borrowed saddle, and
loped the horse to the next station,
McCormicks, il time to overtake the
train, and ship the horse by the same
train. For quick perception, and rapid
execution, Mr.. Fowler has no superior.
r. B. A. Robinson Esq, tried darkey
last week for stealing shoat, but the tes-
timony failing, he was dismissed. The
Justice then stated that he had a remark
able rooster which when put under pot
would crow when the guilty man touched
the pot. He invited the party present to
test their innocence, and all promptly
touched the pot except one negro who
was present and had been suspected. he
refused to touch it, saying he was inno-
cent and wanted to stay so. His trial is
soon to come on, and his conduct on this
occasion will be a part of the testimony
against him. Col. Robinson has instita-
ted new crime detector.
One of our most prosperous farmers,
representing number of his neighbors,
recently visited Augusta, Ga, for the pur.
pose of getting prices on plantation sup
plies. Among other things, they wanted
TO purchase several hundred barrels of
floul. The merchants of Augusta gave
him prices on the various articles, and the
gentleman brought them home, and, after
comforting with his neighbors, it was de-
cided to visit Anderson and give our mer-
chants chance to sell tho goods. This
was done, and the same grade Of flour
which they had priced to them in Augusta
was offered them by our merchants at
fifteen cents less per barrel than was
offered them by the Augusta merchants.
Other supplies were offered the farmers
by our merchants at proportionately low
prices. Of course, these farmers pur-
chased their supplies from the Anderson
merchants. This speaks we'll for Ander-
son as trade mart, and only proves what
we have always claimed-that goods can
be purchased here as cheap, or cheaper,
than in any other inland market. We
have low rates of freight, and our mer-
chants are satisfied with low profit.
Buy your goods from the Anderson mer-
chants and you will save money by it
every time.
